| Summary | "Sónnica la cortesana: Novela" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the ancient city of Sagunto, where the character Sónnica, a wealthy courtesan, resides, surrounded by various figures of Roman, Greek, and Celtiberian descent, against a backdrop of commerce and political tension. The opening chapters introduce this vibrant world filled with dynamic interactions between sailors, merchants, and courtesans, particularly highlighting Sónnica's influence and the discussions around socio-political tensions arising from Roman and Carthaginian conflicts. At the start of the novel, readers meet Acteón, a Greek traveler, arriving in Sagunto, where he becomes involved with the local populace and the powerful figure of Sónnica. The bustling harbor setting is vividly described, with the arrival of a ship and the people's celebration, while Acteón’s initial experiences hint at contrasts between the lives of the wealthy and the impoverished. An encounter with Bachis, a "loba" of the port, reveals themes of compassion and survival, while foreshadowing the complexities of human relationships amidst societal hierarchies. The narrative establishes a rich tapestry of characters and conflicts that hint at deeper explorations of love, power, and the struggle for self-identity within a diverse historical context.
